For the Love of Texture

For the Love of Texture: An Introduction to Digital Textures

Taught by Kim Klassen

Have you been seeing all the beautiful textured photos around the web? Have you been wondering how it’s done?

Perhaps you’ve tried to texturize but failed?

Maybe it looks too heavy, a little overdone, or maybe you can’t see the texture at all.

This class is designed to walk you through the digital texturing process.

In this self-paced class you will learn:

  • where to find textures
  • how to open textures in Photoshop CS and Elements
  • how to apply the textures to your images
  • how to use blend modes to enhance your textured images
  • how to remove textures from certain areas of the image

Adding texture to your digital photos can be an incredibly artful process. It may even reignite your creative spark! This class will get you started on a very exciting "texturizing" journey.
